The problem you've given is a line integral over a circle in the yz-plane. However, the function f(x, y, z) = (x^2 + z^2)^0.5 is a function of x, y, and z. The circle r(t) = (a*cos(t))j + (a*sin(t))k only provides y and z values, not x values.

If we assume x = 0, the function simplifies to f(x, y, z) = |z|, and the circle becomes r(t) = (a*cos(t))j + (a*sin(t))k = aj*cos(t) + ak*sin(t).

The line integral of a scalar function f over a curve C parametrized by r(t), a ≤ t ≤ b, is given by ∫_C f ds = ∫ from a to b f(r(t)) |r'(t)| dt.

Here, r'(t) = -a*sin(t)j + a*cos(t)k. So, |r'(t)| = sqrt[(-a*sin(t))^2 + (a*cos(t))^2] = a.

The function f(r(t)) = |a*sin(t)| because z = a*sin(t) from the parametrization of the circle.

So, the line integral becomes ∫ from 0 to 2π |a*sin(t)| * a dt = a^2 ∫ from 0 to 2π |sin(t)| dt.

The integral of |sin(t)| from 0 to 2π is 2, so the line integral is 2a^2.
